Many customers just can’t believe that this pack is so inexpensive. They comment that the pack is very well built with many pockets and “D” rings so you can hang things on it. They love all the storage space available on this pack, so nothing gets left behind. The zippers are huge and heavy duty. The height adjustment on the backpack is easy.
